Mother of Pearl

Luxury Villas: As you sit back, drink in hand, looking down the winding shoreline of one of the top 10 beaches in the world you remember why you decided to skip the typical tropical hot-spots. While the standard Bahaman experience is welcome and familiar dip a little farther south and enjoy one of the best-kept secrets of the Caribbean.

Ocean Pearl offers a luxury villa overlooking exquisite Long Bay Beach in The Turks and Caicos Islands for one week or a month at a time. This amazing villa comes with all the creature comforts, including air conditioning, wide-screen plasma TV, DVD, satellite, vaulted ceilings, bi-weekly maid service, panoramic views of the ocean from all rooms, and an Infinity pool on a private terrace. As some of the last islands of the chain to be developed, peace and serenity naturally go hand in hand. Trips book May to November, late bookings are accepted.
